Hello,
Not been on here for quite a while but need your help. I parted with a considerable amount of money back in August for a horse with a 'recent' 5stage vetting that was bought for me to hunt on this season. After bringing him home and falling for him we had to call out the vet. Her diagnosis was severe fixation of the patella (not to be confused with the lesser problem of 'stifle locking' that can be improved with exercise and fitness) and therefore totally unsuitable for hunting/eventing/SJ etc.
I returned the lovely boy to the trader from which i purchased him and settled on an agreement of, if a suitable replacemnt is not found by the 1st Nov 07 then i will receive my funds back in full, however, i feel as though this is becoming less likely. My father has spoken to his company Lawyer who assures us we have a strong case but urged us to find an equine solicitor/lawyer locally (Yorkshire)
Can anyone help? If so i would be really graetful. it's not all about the cash, it's more to do with the fact that this horse is being passed from pillar to post and becoming more and more nervous each time it encounters a new owner and i dont think its going to have a happy ending. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
